Button automatically tells people to bugger off in Gmail

[Kevin]’s friend is a remarkably helpful engineer, and when his friend gets requests to help out on a few projects he always has a hard time saying no. Really, [Kevin]’s friends’ time is much too valuable to take up many more projects, but saying no to someone will drag you down. To alieve his friend of the torment of saying no, [Kevin] built an automated Gmail assistant that will automatically replay to an annoying email with the words, “Go F*** Yourself!”.

The automated Gmail assistant is built around a Teensy 2.0 microcontroller equipped with a key that serves as a safety, lest an accidental “F*** you” be sent to friends, family, or employers.

If [Kevin]’s friend feels bad for telling so many people off there’s also a handy feature to make sure the engineer friend doesn’t seem too unhelpful: there’s a one percent chance of the Gmail assistant of replying with, “That’s a Great idea, I’ll get right on it!”.

“saying no to someone will drag you down. To alieve his friend of the torment of saying no, [Kevin] built an automated Gmail assistant that will automatically replay to an annoying email with the words, “Go F*** Yourself!”.”

That’s the problem with people today: They want to please everybody. “No” is a perfectly good word to use with friends. Besides, I wouldn’t consider anyone a friend if they reply with the words used in the article.

Unfortunately with those who don’t know what no means, the assertiveness has to be taken to a nigher level. Although this level has to invoked selectively, and sparingly. Sometime after;” kiss my ass how many times do I have to say no?”
